About Us

ebb & flo bookshop is our independent bookshop based in the Lancashire market town of Chorley. We are Diane (based mainly in the shop) and Martin (mainly doing his other job). Between us we’ve worked in a library, schools, colleges, shops, a pie maker’s and a fizzy pop factory. Opening a bookshop seemed like the next logical step.

We love books a lot and we believe in small towns. We support the shop local movement and want our shop to make an important contribution to Chorley.

Art Gallery

Our upstairs gallery room is a space where local artists and photographers can exhibit their work. Wander up and have a look while you’re here. Prints and artwork are often for sale.

The room is also available for hire.

Books & Gifts

Alongside more recognisable titles, our book selection offers something quirky to customers, where you might find an undiscovered gem of a book. We stock a wide range of beautiful French Djeco crafts which are perfect gifts.

We also sell handmade crafts by Darcey Fleur.

Children

Our little den under the stairs is a great hiding place for children, where they can sit or lie and read our ‘den books’.
